    Hey guys when I tried to update my PowderToy to version 53.3 my Anti Nortan said that it was "keyloging" my internet id or something like that! Then it just deleted the PowderToy file! After that I downloaded PowderToy again and it still deleted the file! Do any of you know how to fix this or should I just wait until another version of PowderToy comes out?
    Thanks in advance.

    BattleStorm198's issue is that it deletes the file

    Can you add an exception somehow? or turn Norton off?

    maybe it's because of the ip tracking it uses to stop self-voting (just an option dont know it for sure)

    BattleStorm198's issue is that he still uses Norton.

    Your Anti-Virus probably just sucks
    Try to lower the Sensitivity of the Protection a little bit, maybe it's picking it because it haves the functions that SOME Keyloggers uses.
    Changing Anti-Virus is also an good option. Many Free Anti-Virus would do the job ( But the Best one is always Kaspersky but you must pay )
